The Reno Dispatch, the national news blog you're currently reading, earned nine awards, including First Place recognition for our 2014 election coverage (Young Americans Didn't Vote, Latino Americans Didn't Vote, And You’re Calling This A Mandate?), our health and medicine writing (How Cancer Made Me A Better Writer), and our profile writing (EXCLUSIVE: Renee Richards Talks About Life, Tennis and Bruce Jenner).
I was also pleased to win two awards for my investigative reporting for VeteranJournal.com. One was for a three-part series in which I took an in-depth look at whether President Obama has achieved his goals for helping America’s veterans. The other was for piece I wrote on how the Department of Veterans Affairs has evidently turned its back on military reserves exposed to Agent Orange.
In 2013, The Reno Dispatch won five Press Club awards, and in 2014 we won two. That makes a total of 16 journalism awards in the three years we've been up and running. Thanks very much to everyone for reading and supporting our national news blog. I'm not much of a techie, but I'm old that The Reno Dispatch has had more than 700,000 visits in just the last year and 1/2. As long as you keep visiting, and reading, we will keep writing.

ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
